ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

Dear and wonderful Sam

Kinghorn exhibits book at Concord Museum

David Kinghorn exhibited this small French Bible at the Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts.  This book is bound in a quarter navy goatskin with a terra-cotta label, marbled paper sides, and vellum tips on the corners.  The headcaps were made in a 19th century ledger binding style which uses no end bands.

Isn't Praise Nice

Dear Sam,

The books arrived in perfect condition.  As usual, the bindings are works of art.  The stamping on the covers is gorgeous.  The overall effect has the restraint and dignity that I value so much in the simpler treatment of book spines. 

Thank you, Michael

Dear Mr. Ellenport,

Tom Sawyer arrived safely yesterday afternoon via UPS.  Thank you for taking time to send me an email about the shipping.  The Harcourt Bindery did a super job at binding my copy.  I am very pleased with your work.  I will be sending my other copy of Tom Sawyer to you in the very near future to be bound exactly as you have done with this present copy.

With kind regards,

Bert
